6 garlic clove, roughly chopped

3 tbsp curry paste (we used Patak's tikka masala paste)

400g shelled raw king prawn

250g frozen pea

small bunch coriander, leaves chopped

basmati rice or chapatis, to serve

Method

Heat the oil in frying pan, then fry the onions over a medium heat until soft and beginning to brown, about 5 mins. Meanwhile, reserve 8 of the tomato wedges, then whizz the remainder in a food processor with the ginger and garlic.

Add the curry paste to the pan for 30 secs. Stir through the tomato mix and remaining tomato wedges, then bubble over a high heat for 5 mins, stirring so the sauce doesn’t catch. Mix in the prawns and peas; simmer until prawns are pink and cooked through. Scatter with coriander, then serve with rice.

Tip

If you want to use a slow cooker...

Leave this to simmer away in a slow cooker. Whizz the oil, ginger, garlic, curry paste and all but 8 tomato wedges to a paste. Scrape into your slow cooker and stir in the onions. Cover and cook on High for 3 hours. Mix in the remaining tomato, prawns and peas, then cover and cook for 30 mins-1 hour further until the prawns are cooked, Serve as above.

Is there anything that works well in this curry, apart from prawns? They are so expensive that I only have them about once a year! If I made it as it is, without the prawns, would it still be tasty enough, do you think?

Made this instead of getting a takeaway!! Was really pleased with the results! I did use a little more curry paste than the recipe said, and also half a tin of chopped tomatoes as I like alot of sauce!! Have leftovers in the freezer and will make again for sure!

This is one of the simplest, quickest, freshest curries ever and I have made it several times. I am a veggie, so add a quorn fillet instead of prawns, but I have made it for a friend with prawns and it went down a treat!

Only used 5 garlic cloves and only 2 tbsp curry paste, as my husband doesnt like curries that are too hot, this was just perfect and he really enjoyed it! will keep this as a run up for Christmas for my son who is a curry fan
